title: [Hypoglycemia in childhood. II. Clinical aspects and therapy of hypoglycemia in childhood].
abstract: Regardless of age and body weight, hypoglycemia is defined as the glycemia value below 2.6 mmol/l. This is the borderline glycemia value, below which the suffering begins which directly endangers the CNS development in the newborn period. The fact that we registered hypoglycemias in 2/3 of premature infants and in 3/4 of low birth weight infants at registration on the ward for premature infants at the Institute for Mother and Child Health Protection, in the course of 1988, tells of the complexity and seriousness of the situation with which we meet during the depopulation of the inhabitants. The paper gives physiological basics for the understanding of glycose homeostasis in the organism, as the most frequent forms of hypoglycemia with which the physician meets in practice. A diagnosing and hypoglycemia treatment algorithm is given.
